Canadian servicemen overseas pay fifty-six. . j cents for a package •of twenty English cigar- ettes . We in. Canada can .sendthem three hurl- dredfor a d011a.r. American cigarettes are made available to the Yanks at their overseas can- teens at a very low rate and on a quota• basis of so many per 1:1.ay, The Canadian soldierwho is kept supplied with smokes by relatives or war work organ- ization.s need not worry about the cost of Eng- Iiih fags, but what about many a serviceman who is not so fortunate..'Smokes are the big-,. gest drain on our money", says one chap. Why , aren't Canadian cigarettes made available to all Canadian troops by a. plan sim- filar to that adopted by the -United States? .What's the answer? A local C,C.F. exponent claims theanswer is • simple. He lays the responsibilitir at the deer Of monopoly capitalism onthe part of English tobacco firms. We can't prove or disprove any such Clam, but we do agree with him that the present system is a. crying shame, and the moreso now when Caladians. are scattered on many battle fronts a'nd delays aire to be , peetei in receiving parcelfrom home. 4nd. then there's the "forgotten soldier" who ays credited with bringing the largest financial re-. turns of any individual enterprise3 in the County, but the Teeswater. News laments that inland towns and villages receive little of the benefit. But The News has another grievance, and here it is: "Teeswater, situated as it is at the south- ern tip Of :the county, along with Lucknow to the west of Us,' More or less are the gateways to is great vacatienland, Here we have Can ada's largest viral' fair and in this 4i -strict, is, te be found some of the best farming land • in the entire province.,These points Could, -and shoidd, be CaPitalized on by mention' in adver.,, tising prOmoting the tourist industry. There Should be some way wecould share in the pro- fits- of this great summer business; or at least gain recognition as part of this thriving county. • "But: Teeswater, along with some other mimicipalities are being left out in the cold. Even though we are situated or; one of the most travelled highways for tourists from the south 'we lack that certain thing that gains , recognition in the propee source. Just a short • time ago the Owen Sound SunLTirnes publiSheil .a vacation' edition. One large advertisement en- ticed tourists to come to the Bluewater Country • and showed a map of the Lakeshore route from Sarnia. to Orillia; not being on this route Tees - Water could hardly exPect to be mentioned. But—and this is where the shoe pinches—an:: other large advertisement appeared, paid for by Bruce County citizens through the County •,Council, showing ' all of Bruce Peninsula and • south to Kincardine and Walkerton.

After all, it's part of onr tax money that is doing it and it riles us up to think that we are being side-stepped except has to buy his smokes out of his meagre "sal- , - arr. 1. t 4 4 . A change in the system of making smokes available to our fighting ellen is long past due, • and on the double quick if this exploitation charge be 'true. •- • * SALVAGE COLLECTION NEXT WEEK Thered Y.'S .11Q easing of the-, urgent need for waste paper which is playing a war role never before dreamed of. The uses waste paper is • put to are really amazing and the Pulpwood shortage makes the salvaging of this com- modity an important, but simple task in winch every household and busineth • place can take part. Newspapers,nagazines,' cartons, wrapping paper and 'even the contents of your waste paper basket should all be saved. • There will be a salvage collection in Luck - now nett Tuesday evening. Scour your prem- iseS for paper. Bundle it, or pac4c it in cartons and place it at the !curb. Of, course rags, iron„ rubber tires and glass are also Valuable and will be ccillected. Entire -proceeds of salvage sales are used to . send smokes to the boys overseas from Lucknow and district • So your co-operation in this regard serves • altwofOld worthwhile purpose. 2 Witii a promising' outlook for the wheat harvest in Canada and a billion bushel crop. in sight in the 'United States, there need be no apprehension about wheat supplies for the crop year 1944-45. There will be plenty and to spare, but surpluses wiul soon dwindle as they become accessible to the liberated people Of Enrope. Paisley Rotary Club has__ completed "i,ar- rangements with a swimming instructor to con- duct a series of classes for the benefit of boys and girls of that commtmity. • It's a mighty worthwhile undertaking but one that could cbe--tackled here-bempse- of -the -lack -of any suitable swiunming "hole". » Talk about post -War projects -La swimmin' peol is .a crying need in Lucknow, and something' more than just talk should be done about it. •• ip • • Haying completed—wheat's being cut—oats and barley are ripening fast.
